Caroline Nickerson, Program Manager at SciStarter, presented on libraries and Citizen Science. Citizen science is public engagement in real research. Anyone can do citizen science by collecting data, conducting scientific analysis, and more for projects spanning different scientific disciplines, from health to astronomy to the environment. SciStarter is a globally acclaimed, online citizen science hub where more than 3,000 projects, events, and tools — searchable by location, topic, age level, and more — have been registered by individual project leaders or imported through partnerships with federal governments, NGOs, and universities.
